Automated Proton Mail Sender Cleanup

Every Monday, WebRun opens Proton Mail, counts the messages each sender put in your inbox over recent weeks, works out which ones you never open, records the ranking in Notion, and leaves a drafted unsubscribe request or a suggested filter for each one so nothing is removed without your yes.

In short

How do I find the senders filling my Proton Mail inbox that I never read?

Every Monday WebRun opens Proton Mail, counts how many messages each sender delivered over recent weeks, and compares that against how many you actually opened. It records the ranked cleanup candidates in Notion and drafts each unsubscribe request in Gmail for approval, so nothing leaves your inbox without your yes.

  • The senders filling your inbox are ranked by volume every week
  • Each candidate carries its own message and unread counts
  • No unsubscribe is confirmed and no message is deleted without you

Questions, answered

Will it unsubscribe me from anything on its own?

No. WebRun ranks the senders and prepares each unsubscribe request as a Gmail draft. It never clicks an unsubscribe link, never confirms a removal, and never deletes a message.

How does it decide a sender is worth removing?

It compares how many messages a sender delivered against how many you actually opened. High volume plus a high unread share puts a sender at the top, and the counts are shown so you can judge for yourself.

What if I want to keep a sender but stop seeing them daily?

Mark the row keep and WebRun suggests a filter to a folder instead of an unsubscribe, so the mail still arrives but leaves the inbox alone.

Put this on autopilot.
